17!! DO NOT USE MAKE !!  to compile sendmail -- instead, use the
18*********************  "makesendmail" script located in the src
19directory.  It will find an appropriate Makefile, and create an
20appropriate obj.* subdirectory so that multiplatform support
21works easily.
22
23The Makefile is for the new (4.4BSD) Berkeley make and uses syntax
24that is not recognized by older makes.  It also has assumptions
25about the 4.4 file system layout built in.  See below for details
26about other Makefiles.
27
28If you are porting to a new architecture for which there is no existing
29Makefile, you might start with Makefile.dist.  This works on the old
30traditional make, but isn't customized for any particular architecture.

55| MAKEFILES |
56+-----------+
57
58By far, the easiest way to compile sendmail is to use the "makesendmail"
59script:
60
61	sh makesendmail
62
63This uses the "uname" command to figure out what architecture you are
64on and selects a proper Makefile accordingly.  It also creates a
65subdirectory per object format, so that multiarchitecture support is
66easy.  In general this should be all you need.  However, if for some
67reason this doesn't work (e.g., NeXT systems don't have the "uname"
68command) you may have to set up your compile environment by hand.
69
70The "Makefile"s in these directories are from 4.4 BSD, and hence
71really only work properly if you are on a 4.4 system.  In particular,
72they use new syntax that will not be recognized on old make programs,
73and some of them do things like ``.include ../../Makefile.inc'' to
74pick up some system defines.  If you are getting sendmail separately,
75these files won't be included in the distribution, as they are
76outside of the sendmail tree.
77
78Instead, you should use one of the other Makefiles, such as
79Makefile.SunOS for a SunOS system, and so forth.  These should
80work with the version of make that is appropriate for that
81system.  All other Makefiles are in the "src/Makefiles" subdirectory.
82They use the version of make that is native for that system.  These
83are the Makefiles that I use, and they have "Berkeley quirks" in them.
84I can't guarantee that they will work unmodified in your environment.
85In particular, Many of them include -I/usr/sww/include/db and
86-L/usr/sww/lib -- these are Berkeley's locations in the ``Software
87Warehouse'' for the new database libraries, described below.  You don't
88have to remove these definitions if you don't have these directories,
89but you may have to remove -DNEWDB from the DBMDEF definition.
90
91Please look for an appropriate Makefile before you start trying to
92compile with Makefile or Makefile.dist.
93
94If you want to port the new Berkeley make, you can get it from
95ftp.uu.net in the directory /systems/unix/bsd-sources/usr.bin/make.
96Diffs and instructions for building this version of make under
97SunOS 4.1.x are available on ftp.css.itd.umich.edu in
98/pub/systems/sun/Net2-make-sun4.diff.Z.  Diffs and instructions
99for building this version of make under IBM AIX 3.2.4 are available
100on ftp.uni-stuttgart.de in /sw/src/patches/bsd-make-rus-patches.
101For Ultrix, try ftp.vix.com:~ftp/pub/patches/pmake-for-ultrix.Z.
102Paul Southworth <pauls@umich.edu> published a description of porting
103this make in comp.unix.bsd.
104
105The complete text of the Makefile.inc that is in the parent of the
106sendmail directory is:
107
108	#	@(#)Makefile.inc	8.1 (Berkeley) 6/6/93

113+----------------------+
114| DATABASE DEFINITIONS |
115+----------------------+
116
117There are several database formats that can be used for the alias files
118and for general maps.  When used for alias files they interact in an
119attempt to be back compatible.
120
121The three options are NEWDB (the new Berkeley DB package), NDBM (the
122older DBM implementation -- the very old V7 implementation is no
123longer supported), and NIS (Network Information Services).  Used alone
124these just include the support they indicate.  [If you are using NEWDB,
125get the latest version from FTP.CS.Berkeley.EDU in /ucb/4bsd/db.tar.Z
126(or db.tar.gz).  DO NOT use the version from the Net2 distribution!
127However, if you are on BSD/386 or 386BSD-based systems, use the one
128that already exists on your system.  You may need to #define OLD_NEWDB
1291 to do this.]
130
131[NOTE WELL: it is CRITICAL that you remove ndbm.o from libdb.a and
132ndbm.h from the appropriate include directories if you want to get
133ndbm support.  These files OVERRIDE calls to ndbm routines -- in
134particular, if you leave ndbm.h in, you can find yourself using
135the new db package even if you don't define NEWDB.]
136
137If NEWDB and NDBM are defined (but not NIS), then sendmail will read
138NDBM format alias files, but the next time a newaliases is run the
139format will be converted to NEWDB; that format will be used forever
140more.  This is intended as a transition feature.  [Note however that
141the NEWDB library also catches and maps NDBM calls; you will have to
142back out this feature to get this to work.  See ``Quirks'' section
143below for details.]
144
145If all three are defined and the name of the file includes the string
146"/yp/", sendmail will rebuild BOTH the NEWDB and NDBM format alias
147files.  However, it will only read the NEWDB file; the NDBM format file
148is used only by the NIS subsystem.
149
150If NDBM and NIS are defined (regardless of the definition of NEWDB),
151and the filename includes the string "/yp/", sendmail adds the special
152tokens "YP_LAST_MODIFIED" and "YP_MASTER_NAME", both of which are
153required if the NDBM file is to be used as an NIS map.
154
155There is also preliminary support for NIS+ (-DNISPLUS), Hesiod
156(-DHESIOD), and NetInfo (-DNETINFO).  These have not been well
157tested.
158
159All of -DNEWDB, -DNDBM, -DNIS, -DNISPLUS, -DHESIOD, and -DNETINFO are
160normally defined in the DBMDEF line in the Makefile.
161
162
163+---------------+
164| COMPILE FLAGS |
165+---------------+
166
167Whereever possible, I try to make sendmail pull in the correct
168compilation options needed to compile on various environments based on
169automatically defined symbols.  Some machines don't seem to have useful
170symbols availble, requiring the following compilation flags in the
171Makefile:
172
173SOLARIS		Define this if you are running Solaris 2.0 or higher.
174SOLARIS_2_3	Define this if you are running Solaris 2.3 or higher.
175SUNOS403	Define this if you are running SunOS 4.0.3.
176NeXT		Define this if you are on a NeXT box.  (This one may
177		be pre-defined for you.)  There are other hacks you
178		have to make -- see below.
179_AIX3		Define this if you are IBM AIX 3.x.
180RISCOS		Define this if you are running RISC/os from MIPS.
181IRIX		Define this if you are running IRIX from SGI.
182_SCO_unix_	Define this if you are on SCO UNIX.
183_SCO_unix_4_2	Define this if you are on SCO Open Server 3.2v4.
184DGUX		Define this if you are on DG/UX 5.4.3 or later
185DGUX_5_4_2	Define this if you are on DG/UX systems prior to 5.4.3.
186NonStop_UX_BXX	Define this if you are on a Tandem NonStop-UX release
187		Bxx system.
188IRIX64		Define this if you are on an IRIX64 system.
189
190If you are a system that sendmail has already been ported to, you
191probably won't have to touch these.  But if you are porting, you may
192have to tweak the following compilation flags in conf.h in order to
193get it to compile and link properly:
194
195SYSTEM5		Adjust for System V (not necessarily Release 4).
196SYS5SIGNALS	Use System V signal semantics -- the signal handler
197		is automatically dropped when the signal is caught.
198		If this is not set, use POSIX/BSD semantics, where the
199		signal handler stays in force until an exec or an
200		explicit delete.  Implied by SYSTEM5.
201SYS5SETPGRP	Use System V setpgrp() semantics.  Implied by SYSTEM5.
202HASFLOCK	Set this if you prefer to use the flock(2) system call
203		rather than using fcntl-based locking.  Fcntl locking
204		has some semantic gotchas, but many vendor systems
205		also interface it to lockd(8) to do NFS-style locking.
206		For this reason, this should not be set unless you
207		don't have an alternative.
208HASUNAME	Set if you have the "uname" system call.  Implied by
209		SYSTEM5.
210HASUNSETENV	Define this if your system library has the "unsetenv"
211		subroutine.
212HASSETSID	Define this if you have the setsid(2) system call.  This
213		is implied if your system appears to be POSIX compliant.
214HASINITGROUPS	Define this if you have the initgroups(3) routine.
215HASSETVBUF	Define this if you have the setvbuf(3) library call.
216		If you don't, setlinebuf will be used instead.  This
217		defaults on if your compiler defines __STDC__.
218HASSETREUID	Define this if you have setreuid(2) ***AND*** root can
219		use setreuid to change to an arbitrary user.  This second
220		condition is not satisfied on AIX 3.x.  You may find that
221		your system has setresuid(2), (for example, on HP-UX) in
222		which case you will also have to #define setreuid(r, e)
223		to be the appropriate call.  Some systems (such as Solaris)
224		have a compatibility routine that doesn't work properly,
225		but may have "saved user ids" properly implemented so you
226		can ``#define setreuid(r, e) seteuid(e)'' and have it work.
227		The important thing is that you have a call that will set
228		the effective uid independently of the real or saved uid
229		and be able to set the effective uid back again when done.
230		There's a test program in ../test/t_setreuid.c that will
231		try things on your system.  Setting this improves the
232		security, since sendmail doesn't have to read .forward
233		and :include: files as root.  There are certain attacks
234		that may be unpreventable without this call.
235USESETEUID	Define this to 1 if you have seteuid(2) if you have a seteuid
236		system call that will allow root to set only the effective
237		user id to an arbitrary value ***AND*** you have saved user
238		ids.  This is preferable to HASSETREUID if these conditions
239		are fulfilled.  These are the semantics of the to-be-released
240		revision of Posix.1.  The test program ../test/t_seteuid.c
241		will try this out on your system.  If you define both
242		HASSETREUID and USESETEUID, the former is ignored.
243HASLSTAT	Define this if you have symbolic links (and thus the
244		lstat(2) system call).  This improves security.  Unlike
245		most other options, this one is on by default, so you
246		need to #undef it in conf.h if you don't have symbolic
247		links (these days everyone does).
248HASSETRLIMIT	Define this to 1 if you have the setrlimit(2) syscall.
249		You can define it to 0 to force it off.  It is assumed
250		if you are running a BSD-like system.
251HASULIMIT	Define this if you have the ulimit(2) syscall (System V
252		style systems).  HASSETRLIMIT overrides, as it is more
253		general.
254NEEDGETOPT	Define this if you need a reimplementation of getopt(3).
255		On some systems, getopt does very odd things if called
256		to scan the arguments twice.  This flag will ask sendmail
257		to compile in a local version of getopt that works
258		properly.
259NEEDSTRTOL	Define this if your standard C library does not define
260		strtol(3).  This will compile in a local version.
261NEEDVPRINTF	Define this if your standard C library does not define
262		vprintf(3).  Note that the resulting fake implementation
263		is not very elegant and may not even work on some
264		architectures.
265NEEDFSYNC	Define this if your standard C library does not define
266		fsync(2).  This will try to simulate the operation using
267		fcntl(2); if that is not available it does nothing, which
268		isn't great, but at least it compiles and runs.
269HASGETUSERSHELL	Define this to 1 if you have getusershell(3) in your
270		standard C library.  If this is not defined, or is defined
271		to be 0, sendmail will scan the /etc/shells file (no
272		NIS-style support, defaults to /bin/sh and /bin/csh if
273		that file does not exist) to get a list of unrestricted
274		user shells.  This is used to determine whether users
275		are allowed to forward their mail to a program or a file.
276NEEDPUTENV	Define this if your system needs am emulation of the
277		putenv(3) call.  Define to 1 to implement it in terms
278		of setenv(3) or to 2 to do it in terms of primitives.
279GIDSET_T	The type of entries in a gidset passed as the second
280		argument to getgroups(2).  Historically this has been an
281		int, so this is the default, but some systems (such as
282		IRIX) pass it as a gid_t, which is an unsigned short.
283		This will make a difference, so it is important to get
284		this right!  However, it is only an issue if you have
285		group sets.
286SLEEP_T		The type returned by the system sleep() function.
287		Defaults to "unsigned int".  Don't worry about this
288		if you don't have compilation problems.
289ARBPTR_T	The type of an arbitrary pointer -- defaults to "void *".
290		If you are an very old compiler you may need to define
291		this to be "char *".
292LA_TYPE		The type of load average your kernel supports.  These
293		can be one of:
294		 LA_ZERO (1) -- it always returns the load average as
295			"zero" (and does so on all architectures).
296		 LA_INT (2) to read /dev/kmem for the symbol avenrun and
297			interpret as a long integer.
298		 LA_FLOAT (3) same, but interpret the result as a floating
299			point number.
300		 LA_SHORT (6) to interpret as a short integer.
301		 LA_SUBR (4) if you have the getloadavg(3) routine in your
302			system library.
303		 LA_MACH (5) to use MACH-style load averages (calls
304			processor_set_info()),
305		 LA_PROCSTR (7) to read /proc/loadavg and interpret it
306			as a string representing a floating-point
307			number (Linux-style).
308		 LA_READKSYM (8) is an implementation suitable for some
309			versions of SVr4 that uses the MIOC_READKSYM ioctl
310			call to read /dev/kmem.
311		 LA_DGUX (9) is a special implementation for DG/UX that uses
312			the dg_sys_info system call.
313		 LA_HPUX (10) is an HP-UX specific version that uses the
314			pstat_getdynamic system call.
315		LA_INT, LA_SHORT, LA_FLOAT, and LA_READKSYM have several
316		other parameters that they try to divine: the name of your
317		kernel, the name of the variable in the kernel to examine,
318		the number of bits of precision in a fixed point load average,
319		and so forth.
320		In desperation, use LA_ZERO.  The actual code is in
321		conf.c -- it can be tweaked if you are brave.
322FSHIFT		For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_READKSYM, this is the number
323		of bits of load average after the binary point -- i.e.,
324		the number of bits to shift right in order to scale the
325		integer to get the true integer load average.  Defaults to 8.
326_PATH_UNIX	The path to your kernel.  Needed only for LA_INT, LA_SHORT,
327		and LA_FLOAT.  Defaults to "/unix" on System V, "/vmunix"
328		everywhere else.
329LA_AVENRUN	For LA_INT, LA_SHORT, and LA_FLOAT, the name of the kernel
330		variable that holds the load average.  Defaults to "avenrun"
331		on System V, "_avenrun" everywhere else.
332SFS_TYPE	Encodes how your kernel can locate the amount of free
333		space on a disk partition.  This can be set to SFS_NONE
334		(0) if you have no way of getting this information,
335		SFS_USTAT (1) if you have the ustat(2) system call,
336		SFS_4ARGS (2) if you have a four-argument statfs(2)
337		system call (and the include file is <sys/statfs.h>),
338		SFS_VFS (3), SFS_MOUNT (4), SFS_STATFS (5) if you have
339		the two-argument statfs(2) system call with includes in
340		<sys/vfs.h>, <sys/mount.h>, or <sys/statfs.h> respectively,
341		or SFS_STATVFS (6) if you have the two-argument statvfs(2)
342		call.  The default if nothing is defined is SFS_NONE.
343SFS_BAVAIL	with SFS_4ARGS hou can also set SFS_BAVAIL to the field name
344		in the statfs structure that holds the useful information;
345		this defaults to f_bavail.
346SPT_TYPE	Encodes how your system can display what a process is doing
347		on a ps(1) command (SPT stands for Set Process Title).  Can
348		be set to:
349		SPT_NONE (0) -- Don't try to set the process title at all.
350		SPT_REUSEARGV (1) -- Pad out your argv with the information;
351			this is the default if none specified.
352		SPT_BUILTIN (2) -- The system library has setproctitle.
353		SPT_PSTAT (3) -- Use the PSTAT_SETCMD option to pstat(2)
354			to set the process title; this is used by HP-UX.
355		SPT_PSSTRINGS (4) -- Use the magic PS_STRINGS pointer (4.4BSD).
356SPT_PADCHAR	Character used to pad the process title; if undefined,
357		the space character (0x20) is used.  This is ignored if
358		SPT_TYPE != SPT_REUSEARGV
359ERRLIST_PREDEFINED
360		If set, assumes that some header file defines sys_errlist.
361		This may be needed if you get type conflicts on this
362		variable -- otherwise don't worry about it.
363WAITUNION	The wait(2) routine takes a "union wait" argument instead
364		of an integer argument.  This is for compatibility with
365		old versions of BSD.
366SCANF		You can set this to extend the F command to accept a
367		scanf string -- this gives you a primitive parser for
368		class definitions -- BUT it can make you vulnerable to
369		core dumps if the target file is poorly formed.
370SYSLOG_BUFSIZE	You can define this to be the size of the buffer that
371		syslog accepts.  If it is not defined, it assumes a
372		1024-byte buffer.  If the buffer is very small (under
373		256 bytes) the log message format changes -- each
374		e-mail message will log many more messages, since it
375		will log each piece of information as a separate line
376		in syslog.
377BROKEN_RES_SEARCH
378		On Ultrix (and maybe other systems?) if you use the
379		res_search routine with an unknown host name, it returns
380		-1 but sets h_errno to 0 instead of HOST_NOT_FOUND.  If
381		you set this, sendmail considers 0 to be the same as
382		HOST_NOT_FOUND.
383NAMELISTMASK	If defined, values returned by nlist(3) are masked
384		against this value before use -- a common value is
385		0x7fffffff to strip off the top bit.
386BSD4_4_SOCKADDR	If defined, socket addresses have an sa_len field that
387		defines the length of this address.
388
389

391+-----------------------+
392| COMPILE-TIME FEATURES |
393+-----------------------+
394
395There are a bunch of features that you can decide to compile in, such
396as selecting various database packages and special protocol support.
397Several are assumed based on other compilation flags -- if you want to
398"un-assume" something, you probably need to edit conf.h.  Compilation
399flags that add support for special features include:
400
401NDBM		Include support for "new" DBM library for aliases and maps.
402		Normally defined in the Makefile.
403NEWDB		Include support for Berkeley "db" package (hash & btree)
404		for aliases and maps.  Normally defined in the Makefile.
405OLD_NEWDB	If non-zero, the version of NEWDB you have is the old
406		one that does not include the "fd" call.  This call was
407		added in version 1.5 of the Berkeley DB code.  If you
408		use -DOLD_NEWDB=0 it forces you to use the new interface.
409NIS		Define this to get NIS (YP) support for aliases and maps.
410		Normally defined in the Makefile.
411NISPLUS		Define this to get NIS+ support for aliases and maps.
412		Normally defined in the Makefile.
413HESIOD		Define this to get Hesiod support for aliases and maps.
414		Normally defined in the Makefile.
415NETINFO		Define this to get NeXT NetInfo support for aliases and maps.
416		Normally defined in the Makefile.
417USERDB		Define this to 1 to include support for the User Information
418		Database.  Implied by NEWDB or HESIOD.  You can use
419		-DUSERDB=0 to explicitly turn it off.
420IDENTPROTO	Define this as 1 to get IDENT (RFC 1413) protocol support.
421		This is assumed unless you are running on Ultrix or
422		HP-UX, both of which have a problem in the UDP
423		implementation.  You can define it to be 0 to explicitly
424		turn off IDENT protocol support.  If defined off, the code
425		is actually still compiled in, but it defaults off; you
426		can turn it on by setting the IDENT timeout to 30s in the
427		configuration file.
428IP_SRCROUTE	Define this to 1 to get IP source routing information
429		displayed in the Received: header.  This is assumed on
430		most systems, but some (e.g., Ultrix) apparently have a
431		broken version of getsockopt that doesn't properly
432		support the IP_OPTIONS call.  You probably want this if
433		your OS can cope with it.  Symptoms of failure will be that
434		it won't compile properly (that is, no support for fetching
435		IP_OPTIONs), or it compiles but source-routed TCP connections
436		either refuse to open or open and hang for no apparent reason.
437		Ultrix and AIX are known to fail this way.
438LOG		Set this to get syslog(3) support.  Defined by default
439		in conf.h.  You want this if at all possible.
440NETINET		Set this to get TCP/IP support.  Defined by default
441		in conf.h.  You probably want this.
442NETISO		Define this to get ISO networking support.
443SMTP		Define this to get the SMTP code.  Implied by NETINET
444		or NETISO.
445NAMED_BIND	If non-zero, include DNS (name daemon) support, including
446		MX support.  The specs you must use this if you run
447		SMTP.  Defined by default in conf.h.
448QUEUE		Define this to get queueing code.  Implied by NETINET
449		or NETISO; required by SMTP.  This gives you other good
450		stuff -- it should be on.
451DAEMON		Define this to get general network support.  Implied by
452		NETINET or NETISO.  Defined by default in conf.h.  You
453		almost certainly want it on.
454MATCHGECOS	Permit fuzzy matching of user names against the full
455		name (GECOS) field in the /etc/passwd file.  This should
456		probably be on, since you can disable it from the config
457		file if you want to.  Defined by default in conf.h.
458MIME8TO7	If non-zero, include 8 to 7 bit MIME conversions.  This
459		also controls advertisement of 8BITMIME in the ESMTP
460		startup dialogue.
461MIME7TO8	If non-zero, include 7 to 8 bit MIME conversions.  Not yet
462		implemented.

466| DNS/RESOLVER ISSUES |
467+---------------------+
468
469Many systems have old versions of the resolver library.  At a minimum,
470you should be running BIND 4.8.3; older versions may compile, but they
471have known bugs that should give you pause.
472
473Common problems in old versions include "undefined" errors for
474dn_skipname.
475
476Some people have had a problem with BIND 4.9; it uses some routines
477that it expects to be externally defined such as strerror().  It may
478help to link with "-l44bsd" to solve this problem.
479
480!PLEASE! be sure to link with the same version of the resolver as
481the header files you used -- some people have used the 4.9 headers
482and linked with BIND 4.8 or vice versa, and it doesn't work.
483Unfortunately, it doesn't fail in an obvious way -- things just
484subtly don't work.
485
486WILDCARD MX RECORDS ARE A BAD IDEA!  The only situation in which they
487work reliably is if you have two versions of DNS, one in the real world
488which has a wildcard pointing to your firewall, and a completely
489different version of the database internally that does not include
490wildcard MX records that match your domain.  ANYTHING ELSE WILL GIVE
491YOU HEADACHES!

534
535SunOS 4.x (Solaris 1.x)
536	You may have to use -lresolv on SunOS.  However, beware that
537	this links in a new version of gethostbyname that does not
538	understand NIS, so you must have all of your hosts in DNS.
539
540	Some people have reported problems with the SunOS version of
541	-lresolv and/or in.named, and suggest that you get a newer
542	version.  The symptoms are delays when you connect to the
543	SMTP server on a SunOS machine or having your domain added to
544	addresses inappropriately.  There is a version of BIND
545	version 4.9 on gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9.
546
547	There is substantial disagreement about whether you can make
548	this work with resolv+, which allows you to specify a search-path
549	of services.  Some people report that it works fine, others
550	claim it doesn't work at all (including causing sendmail to
551	drop core when it tries to do multiple resolv+ lookups for a
552	single job).  I haven't tried resolv+, as we use DNS exclusively.
553
554	Should you want to try resolv+, it is on ftp.uu.net in
555	/networking/ip/dns.
556
557	Apparently getservbyname() can fail under moderate to high
558	load under some circumstances.  This will exhibit itself as
559	the message ``554 makeconnection: service "smtp" unknown''.
560	The problem has been traced to one or more blank lines in
561	/etc/services on the NIS server machine.  Delete these
562	and it should work.  This info is thanks to Brian Bartholomew
563	<bb@math.ufl.edu> of I-Kinetics, Inc.
564
565Solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x)
566	To compile for Solaris, be sure you use -DSOLARIS.
567
568	To the best of my knowledge, Solaris does not have the
569	gethostbyname problem described above.  However, it does
570	have another one:
571
572	From a correspondent:
573
574	   For solaris 2.2, I have
575
576		hosts:      files dns
577
578	   in /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/hosts has to have the fully
579	   qualified host name. I think "files" has to be before "dns"
580	   in /etc/nsswitch.conf during bootup.
581
582	From another correspondent:
583
584	   When running sendmail under Solaris, the gethostbyname()
585	   hack in conf.c which should perform proper canonicalization
586	   of host names could fail.  Result: the host name is not
587	   canonicalized despite the hack, and you'll have to define $j
588	   and $m in sendmail.cf somewhere.
589
590	   The reason could be that /etc/nsswitch.conf is improperly
591	   configured (at least from sendmail's point of view).  For
592	   example, the line
593
594		hosts:      files nisplus dns
595
596	   will make gethostbyname() look in /etc/hosts first, then ask
597	   nisplus, then dns.  However, if /etc/hosts does not contain
598	   the full canonicalized hostname, then no amount of
599	   gethostbyname()s will work.
600
601	   Solution (or rather, a workaround): Ask nisplus first, then
602	   dns, then local files:
603
604		hosts:      nisplus dns [NOTFOUND=return] files
605
606	The Solaris "syslog" function is apparently limited to something
607	about 90 characters because of a kernel limitation.  If you have
608	source code, you can probably up this number.  You can get patches
609	that fix this problem: the patch ids are:
610
611		Solaris 2.1	100834
612		Solaris 2.2	100999
613		Solaris 2.3	101318
614
615	Be sure you have the appropriate patch installed or you won't
616	see system logging.
617
618Solaris 2.4 (SunOS 5.4)
619	If you include /usr/lib at the end of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH you run
620	the risk of getting the wrong libraries under some circumstances.
621	This is because of a new feature in Solaris 2.4, described by
622	Rod.Evans@Eng.Sun.COM:
623
624	>> Prior to SunOS 5.4, any LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting was ignored by the
625	>> runtime linker if the application was setxid (secure), thus your
626	>> applications search path would be:
627	>>
628	>>	/usr/local/lib	LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED
629	>>	/usr/lib	LD_LIBRARY_PATH component - IGNORED
630	>>	/usr/local/lib	RPATH - honored
631	>>	/usr/lib	RPATH - honored
632	>>
633	>> the effect is that path 3 would be the first used, and this would
634	>> satisfy your resolv.so lookup.
635	>>
636	>> In SunOS 5.4 we made the LD_LIBRARY_PATH a little more flexible.
637	>> People who developed setxid applications wanted to be able to alter
638	>> the library search path to some degree to allow for their own
639	>> testing and debugging mechanisms.  It was decided that the only
640	>> secure way to do this was to allow a `trusted' path to be used in
641	>> LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  The only trusted directory we presently define
642	>> is /usr/lib.  Thus a setuid root developer could play with some
643	>> alternative shared object implementations and place them in
644	>> /usr/lib (being root we assume they'ed have access to write in this
645	>> directory).  This change was made as part of 1155380 - after a
646	>> *huge* amount of discussion regarding the security aspect of things.
647	>>
648	>> So, in SunOS 5.4 your applications search path would be:
649	>>
650	>>	/usr/local/lib	from LD_LIBRARY_PATH - IGNORED (untrustworthy)
651	>>	/usr/lib	from LD_LIBRARY_PATH - honored (trustworthy)
652	>>	/usr/local/lib	from RPATH - honored
653	>>	/usr/lib	from RPATH - honored
654	>>
655	>> here, path 2 would be the first used.
656
657Ultrix
658	By default, the IDENT protocol is turned off on Ultrix.  If you
659	are running Ultrix 4.4 or later, or if you have included patch
660	CXO-8919 for Ultrix 4.2 or 4.3 to fix the TCP problem, you can turn
661	IDENT on in the configuration file by setting the "ident" timeout
662	to 30 seconds.
663
664OSF/1
665	If you are compiling on OSF/1 (DEC Alpha), you must use
666	-L/usr/shlib (otherwise it core dumps on startup).  You may also
667	need -mld to get the nlist() function, although some versions
668	apparently don't need this.
669
670	Also, the enclosed makefile removed /usr/sbin/smtpd; if you need
671	it, just create the link to the sendmail binary.
672
673IRIX
674	The header files on SGI IRIX are completely prototyped, and as
675	a result you can sometimes get some warning messages during
676	compilation.  These can be ignored.  There are two errors in
677	deliver only if you are using gcc, both of the form ``warning:
678	passing arg N of `execve' from incompatible pointer type''.
679	Also, if you compile with -DNIS, you will get a complaint
680	about a declaration of struct dom_binding in a prototype
681	when compiling map.c; this is not important because the
682	function being prototyped is not used in that file.
683
684	In order to compile sendmail you will have had to install
685	the developers' option in order to get the necessary include
686	files.
687
688NeXT or NEXTSTEP
689	NEXTSTEP 3.3 and earlier ship with the old DBM library.  You will
690	need to acquire the new Berkeley DB from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu.
691	Install it in /usr/local/{lib,include}.
692
693	If you are compiling on NEXTSTEP, you will have to create an
694	empty file "unistd.h" and create a file "dirent.h" containing:
695
696		#include <sys/dir.h>
697		#define dirent	direct
698
699	(The Makefile.NeXT should try to do both of these for you.)
700
701	Apparently, there is a bug in getservbyname on Nextstep 3.0
702	that causes it to fail under some circumstances with the
703	message "SYSERR: service "smtp" unknown" logged.  You should
704	be able to work around this by including the line:
705
706		OOPort=25
707
708	in your .cf file.
709
710	You may have to use -DNeXT.
711
712BSDI (BSD/386) 1.0, NetBSD 0.9, FreeBSD 1.0
713	The "m4" from BSDI won't handle the config files properly.
714	I haven't had a chance to test this myself.
715
716	The M4 shipped in FreeBSD and NetBSD 0.9 don't handle the config
717	files properly. One must use either GNU m4 1.1 or the PD-M4
718	recently posted in comp.os.386bsd.bugs (and maybe others).
719	NetBSD-current includes the PD-M4 (as stated in the NetBSD file
720	CHANGES).
721
722	FreeBSD 1.0 RELEASE has uname(2) now. Use -DUSEUNAME in order to
723	use it (look into Makefile.FreeBSD). NetBSD-current may have
724	it too but it has not been verified.
725
726	You cannot port the latest version of the Berkeley db library
727	and use it with sendmail without recompiling the world.  This
728	is because C library routines use the older version which have
729	incompatible header files -- the result is that it can't read
730	other system files, such as /etc/passwd, unless you use the
731	new db format throughout your system.  You should normally just
732	use the version of db supplied in your release.  You may need
733	to use -DOLD_NEWDB=1 to make this work -- this turns off some
734	new interface calls (for file locking) that are not in older
735	versions of db.  You'll get compile errors if you need this
736	flag and don't have it set.
737
7384.3BSD
739	If you are running a "virgin" version of 4.3BSD, you'll have
740	a very old resolver and be missing some header files.  The
741	header files are simple -- create empty versions and everything
742	will work fine.  For the resolver you should really port a new
743	version (4.8.3 or later) of the resolver; 4.9 is available on
744	gatekeeper.DEC.COM in pub/BSD/bind/4.9.  If you are really
745	determined to continue to use your old, buggy version (or as
746	a shortcut to get sendmail working -- I'm sure you have the
747	best intentions to port a modern version of BIND), you can
748	copy ../contrib/oldbind.compat.c into src and add
749	oldbind.compat.o to OBJADD in the Makefile.

752	Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1993 18:28:28 -0400 (EDT)
753	From: "Eric C. Hagberg" <hagberg@med.cornell.edu>
754	Subject: Fix for A/UX ndbm
755
756	I guess this isn't really a sendmail bug, however, it is something
757	that A/UX users should be aware of when compiling sendmail 8.6.
758
759	Apparently, the calls that sendmail is using to the ndbm routines
760	in A/UX 3.0.x contain calls to "broken" routines, in that the
761	aliases database will break when it gets "just a little big"
762	(sorry I don't have exact numbers here, but it broke somewhere
763	around 20-25 aliases for me.), making all aliases non-functional
764	after exceeding this point.
765
766	What I did was to get the gnu-dbm-1.6 package, compile it, and
767	then re-compile sendmail with "-lgdbm", "-DNDBM", and using the
768	ndbm.h header file that comes with the gnu-package. This makes
769	things behave properly.
770
771	I suppose porting the New Berkeley db package is another route,
772	however, I made a quick attempt at it, and found it difficult
773	(not easy at least); the gnu-dbm package "configured" and
774	compiled easily.
775
776SCO Unix
777	From: Thomas Essebier <tom@stallion.oz.au>
778	Organisation:  Stallion Technologies Pty Ltd.
779
780	It will probably help those who are trying to configure sendmail 8.6.9
781	to know that if they are on SCO, they had better set
782		OI-dnsrch
783	or they will core dump as soon as they try to use the resolver.
784	ie. although SCO has _res.dnsrch defined, and is kinda BIND 4.8.3, it
785	does not inititialise it, nor does it understand 'search' in
786	/etc/named.boot.
787		- sigh -
788
789DG/UX
790	Doug Anderson <dlander@afterlife.ncsc.mil> has successfully run
791	V8 on the DG/UX 5.4.2 and 5.4R3.x platforms under heavy usage.
792	Originally, the DG /bin/mail program wasn't compatible with
793	the V8 sendmail, since the DG /bin/mail requires the environment
794	variable "_FORCE_MAIL_LOCAL_=yes" be set.  Version 8.7 now includes
795	this in the environment before invoking the local mailer.  Some
796	have used procmail to avoid this problem in the past.  It works
797	but some have experienced file locking problems with their DG/UX
798	ports of procmail.
799
800Apollo DomainOS
801	If you are compiling on Apollo, you will have to create an empty
802	file "unistd.h" and create a file "dirent.h" containing:
803
804		#include <sys/dir.h>
805		#define dirent	direct
806
807	(The Makefile.DomainOS will attempt to do both of these for you.)

811	From: Kimmo Suominen <Kimmo.Suominen@lut.fi>
812	Subject: 8.6.5 w/ HP-UX 8.00 on s300
813
814	Just compiled and fought with sendmail 8.6.5 on a HP9000/360 (ie. a
815	series 300 machine) running HP-UX 8.00.
816
817	I was getting segmentation fault when delivering to a local user.
818	With debugging I saw it was faulting when doing _free@libc... *sigh*
819	It seems the new implementation of malloc on s300 is buggy as of 8.0,
820	so I tried out the one in -lmalloc (malloc(3X)).  With that it seems
821	to work just dandy.
822
823	When linking, you will get the following error:
824
825	ld: multiply defined symbol _freespace in file /usr/lib/libmalloc.a
826
827	but you can just ignore it.  You might want to add this info to the
828	README file for the future...
829
830Linux
831	Something broke between versions 0.99.13 and 0.99.14 of Linux:
832	the flock() system call gives errors.  If you are running .14,
833	you must not use flock.  You can do this with -DHASFLOCK=0.
834
835	Around the inclusion of bind-4.9.3 & linux libc-4.6.20, the
836	initialization of the _res structure changed.  If /etc/hosts.conf
837	was configured as "hosts, bind" the resolver code could return
838	"Name server failure" errors.  This is supposedly fixed in
839	later versions of libc (>= 4.6.29?), and later versions of
840	sendmail (> 8.6.10) try to work around the problem.
841
842	Some older versions (< 4.6.20?) of the libc/include files conflict
843	with sendmail's version of cdefs.h.  Deleting sendmail's version
844	on those systems should be non-harmful, and new versions don't care.
845
846AIX
847	This version of sendmail does not support MB, MG, and MR resource
848	records, which are supported by AIX sendmail.
849
850RISC/os
851	RISC/os from MIPS is a merged AT&T/Berkeley system.  When you
852	compile on that platform you will get duplicate definitions
853	on many files.  You can ignore these.
854
855System V Release 4 Based Systems
856	There is a single Makefile that is intended for all SVR4-based
857	systems (called Makefile.SVR4).  It defines __svr4__, which is
858	predefined by some compilers.  If your compiler already defines
859	this compile variable, you can delete the definition from the
860	Makefile.
861
862	It's been tested on Dell Issue 2.2.

869	Cc: sendmail@cs.berkeley.edu
870	Subject:   Notes for DELL SVR4
871
872	Eric,
873
874	Here are some notes for compiling Sendmail 8.6.4 on DELL SVR4.  I ran
875	across these things when helping out some people who contacted me by
876	e-mail.
877
878	1) Use gcc 2.4.5 (or later?).  Dell distributes gcc 2.1 with their
879	   Issue 2.2 Unix.  It is too old, and gives you problems with
880	   clock.c, because sigset_t won't get defined in <sys/signal.h>.
881	   This is due to a problematic protection rule in there, and is
882	   fixed with gcc 2.4.5.
883
884	2) If you don't use the new Berkeley DB (-DNEWDB), then you need
885	   to add "-lc -lucb" to the libraries to link with.  This is because
886	   the -ldbm distributed by Dell needs the bcopy, bcmp and bzero
887	   functions.  It is important that you specify both libraries in
888	   the given order to be sure you only get the BSTRING functions
889	   from the UCB library (and not the signal routines etc.).
890
891	3) Don't leave out "-lelf" even if compiling with "-lc -lucb".
892	   The UCB library also has another copy of the nlist routines,
893	   but we do want the ones from "-lelf".
894
895	If anyone needs a compiled gcc 2.4.5 and/or a ported DB library, they
896	can use anonymous ftp to fetch them from lut.fi in the /kim directory.
897	They are copies of what I use on grendel.lut.fi, and offering them
898	does not imply that I would also support them.  I have sent the DB
899	port for SVR4 back to Keith Bostic for inclusion in the official
900	distribution, but I haven't heard anything from him as of today.
901
902	- gcc-2.4.5-svr4.tar.gz	(gcc 2.4.5 and the corresponding libg++)
903	- db-1.72.tar.gz	(with source, objects and a installed copy)

912ConvexOS 10.1 and below
913	In order to use the name server, you must create the file
914	/etc/use_nameserver.  If this file does not exist, the call
915	to res_init() will fail and you will have absolutely no
916	access to DNS, including MX records.
917
918Amdahl UTS 2.1.5
919	In order to get UTS to work, you will have to port BIND 4.9.
920	The vendor's BIND is reported to be ``totally inadequate.''
921	See sendmail/contrib/AmdahlUTS.patch for the patches necessary
922	to get BIND 4.9 compiled for UTS.
923
924UnixWare 2.0
925	According to Alexander Kolbasov <sasha@unitech.gamma.ru>,
926	the m4 on UnixWare 2.0 (still in Beta) will core dump on the
927	config files.  GNU m4 and the m4 from UnixWare 1.x both work.
928
929Non-DNS based sites
930	This version of sendmail always tries to connect to the Domain
931	Name System (DNS) to resolve names, regardless of the setting
932	of the `I' option.  On most systems that are not running DNS,
933	this will fail quickly and sendmail will continue, but on some
934	systems it has a long timeout.  If you have this problem, you
935	will have to recompile without NAMED_BIND.  Some people have
936	claimed that they have successfully used "OI+USEVC" to force
937	sendmail to use a virtual circuit -- this will always time out
938	quickly, but also tells sendmail that a failed connection
939	should requeue the message (probably not what you intended).
940	A future release of sendmail will correct this problem.
941
942Both NEWDB and NDBM
943	If you use both -DNDBM and -DNEWDB, you must delete the module
944	ndbm.o from libdb.a and delete the file "ndbm.h" from the files
945	that get installed (that is, use the OLD ndbm.h, not the new
946	ndbm.h).  This compatibility module maps ndbm calls into DB
947	calls, and breaks things rather badly.
948
949GNU getopt
950	I'm told that GNU getopt has a problem in that it gets confused
951	by the double call.  Use the version in conf.c instead.
952
953BIND 4.9.2 and Ultrix
954	If you are running on Ultrix, be sure you read conf/Info.Ultrix
955	in the BIND distribution very carefully -- there is information
956	in there that you need to know in order to avoid errors of the
957	form:
958
959		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): sethostent: multiply defined
960		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): endhostent: multiply defined
961		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyname: multiply defined
962		/lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): gethostbyaddr: multiply defined
963
964	during the link stage.
965
966strtoul
967	Some compilers (notably gcc) claim to be ANSI C but do not
968	include the ANSI-required routine "strtoul".  If your compiler
969	has this problem, you will get an error in srvrsmtp.c on the
970	code:
971
972	  # ifdef defined(__STDC__) && !defined(BROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY)
973			e->e_msgsize = strtoul(vp, (char **) NULL, 10);
974	  # else
975			e->e_msgsize = strtol(vp, (char **) NULL, 10);
976	  # endif
977
978	You can use -DBROKEN_ANSI_LIBRARY to get around this problem.

982| MANUAL PAGES |
983+--------------+
984
985The manual pages have been written against the -mandoc macros
986instead of the -man macros.  The latest version of groff has them
987included.  You can also get a copy from FTP.UU.NET in directory
988/systems/unix/bsd-sources/share/tmac.

991+-----------------+
992| DEBUGGING HOOKS |
993+-----------------+
994
995As of 8.6.5, sendmail daemons will catch a SIGUSR1 signal and log
996some debugging output (logged at LOG_DEBUG severity).  The
997information dumped is:
998
999 * The value of the $j macro.
1000 * A warning if $j is not in the set $=w.
1001 * A list of the open file descriptors.
1002 * The contents of the connection cache.
1003 * If ruleset 89 is defined, it is evaluated and the results printed.
1004
1005This allows you to get information regarding the runtime state of the
1006daemon on the fly.  This should not be done too frequently, since
1007the process of rewriting may lose memory which will not be recovered.
1008Also, ruleset 89 may call non-reentrant routines, so there is a small
1009non-zero probability that this will cause other problems.  It is
1010really only for debugging serious problems.
1011
1012A typical formulation of ruleset 89 would be:
1013
1014	R$*		$@ $>0 some test address

1018| DESCRIPTION OF SOURCE FILES |
1019+-----------------------------+
1020
1021The following list describes the files in this directory:
1022
1023Makefile	The makefile used here; this version only works with
1024		the new Berkeley make.
1025Makefile.dist	A trimmed down version of the makefile that works with
1026		the old make.
1027READ_ME		This file.
1028TRACEFLAGS	My own personal list of the trace flags -- not guaranteed
1029		to be particularly up to date.
1030alias.c		Does name aliasing in all forms.
1031arpadate.c	A subroutine which creates ARPANET standard dates.
1032clock.c		Routines to implement real-time oriented functions
1033		in sendmail -- e.g., timeouts.
1034collect.c	The routine that actually reads the mail into a temp
1035		file.  It also does a certain amount of parsing of
1036		the header, etc.
1037conf.c		The configuration file.  This contains information
1038		that is presumed to be quite static and non-
1039		controversial, or code compiled in for efficiency
1040		reasons.  Most of the configuration is in sendmail.cf.
1041conf.h		Configuration that must be known everywhere.
1042convtime.c	A routine to sanely process times.
1043daemon.c	Routines to implement daemon mode.  This version is
1044		specifically for Berkeley 4.1 IPC.
1045deliver.c	Routines to deliver mail.
1046domain.c	Routines that interface with DNS (the Domain Name
1047		System).
1048err.c		Routines to print error messages.
1049envelope.c	Routines to manipulate the envelope structure.
1050headers.c	Routines to process message headers.
1051macro.c		The macro expander.  This is used internally to
1052		insert information from the configuration file.
1053main.c		The main routine to sendmail.  This file also
1054		contains some miscellaneous routines.
1055map.c		Support for database maps.
1056mci.c		Routines that handle mail connection information caching.
1057parseaddr.c	The routines which do address parsing.
1058queue.c		Routines to implement message queueing.
1059readcf.c	The routine that reads the configuration file and
1060		translates it to internal form.
1061recipient.c	Routines that manipulate the recipient list.
1062savemail.c	Routines which save the letter on processing errors.
1063sendmail.h	Main header file for sendmail.
1064srvrsmtp.c	Routines to implement server SMTP.
1065stab.c		Routines to manage the symbol table.
1066stats.c		Routines to collect and post the statistics.
1067sysexits.c	List of error messages associated with error codes
1068		in sysexits.h.
1069trace.c		The trace package.  These routines allow setting and
1070		testing of trace flags with a high granularity.
1071udb.c		The user database interface module.
1072usersmtp.c	Routines to implement user SMTP.
1073util.c		Some general purpose routines used by sendmail.
1074version.c	The version number and information about this
1075		version of sendmail.  Theoretically, this gets
1076		modified on every change.
